DeWayne Jackson led Morgan State (3-8) with 16 and Ian Chiles had 10, but the Bears shot just 30 percent (24 of 79) in the loss.

Morgan State cut a seven-point halftime lead to three, 32-29, after Chiles opened the second half with back-to-back baskets. But Saint Joseph's rattled off eight straight to push its lead to 40-29 and pull away.

The Bears, who shot 1 of 13 from deep, got no closer than nine the rest of the way.
